FIREWORKS
explode like magnified gunfire in the exquisitely sensitive ears of all creatures.
Many:
Bees don't go back to their hives;
Birds have panic attacks;
Wild animals abandon dens;
Fish perish eating debris;
Companion animals have anxiety;
Humans have PTSD.
Please be aware.
Thank you :-)}
Supposed to be a ban on fireworks in my city but im sure the cops are too busy with other stuff to even stop the idiots here. (Not cops fault.) It's been going on for 5 hours straight.
So worried about a neighbor who's a vet .has PTSD. Plus all the stray cats /wild animals in the forest b hind us.
In New Mexico the best way to avoid fireworks is to go camping for a night out in the desert with your dog and your cat, IMO. I just don't like 'em, used to work trail crew and got trained on fire crew: Fireworks are just dangerous and dumb and not worth the risk.
And people will say "yes, but it's fun!" And I will say "No it isn't, what the fuck are you talking about? It's excruciating and makes you look like a hick. Do you know how many things are MORE fun than setting off fireworks? It's a LOT!"
I agree... Both my emo support kittens if ave gone bonkers from the daily pyrotechnics. Also I feel sick hearing the explosions as I remember vividly the year I was in the army overseas, was a long time ago.
The jerks who set them off all night long are also theleat patriotic citizens. The 4th is just an excuse to get drunk and play macho man with loud bang bangs, grass and forest fires be damned.
When I was little the girl next door found something in the shed and was holding it and setting off bangers.
Once, twice and then a big bang which blew most of her hand off.
It was a detonator brought home from the war.
Fireworks are banned here now but war isn't.
You are so right, Santa! I'll be giving my dog some Benadryl tonight and praying she doesn't shake w/ fear as has happened before. Meanwhile, in Napa CA they're doing a drone show, which sounds amazing (and quiet).
